I write letters I never send,
I write letters I can’t pen,
I write letters I won’t end.

The shadows in my room hang,
an anaconda, ready to crush.

The light in my room flickers,
a feather boa, tickling shadows.

I write letters I won’t end,
I write letters I can’t pen,
I write letters I never send.
